-Swearing is fine, directing slurs and insults at a group member is not. (While swearing is allowed please do not spam a string of curse words)
-If somebody asks you to stop doing something, stop, no questions asked.
-Respect privacy! Don’t reveal sensitive personal information (email, phone, full name, etc.) about other people unless they’ve given you express consent. Even then, it should probably be relayed to the relevant party via private message, not group chat.
-Keep NSFW (extreme gore/smut/violence) off the forum, rules and guidelines of freeforums.net will not tolerate this and neither will we. Take your works privately, or to your personal Blog.
★Thread General Rules:
Do not do any of the following:
-Post personally identifiable information (i.e. name, address, email, phone number, etc.)
-Derail a thread's topic
-Post links to phishing sites
-Post spam (i.e. +1, 10char, "BUMP") or Re-post Closed, Modified, Deleted Content
-Openly argue with a moderator
-Off-Limit Topics/Replies
-Do not post any topics/replies containing the following:
-Porn, inappropriate or offensive content, leaked content or anything else NSFW
If you’re trying to have a conversation with one or two people while the group is talking about something else, consider taking it to private message with that person so as not to clutter up threads and the like.
★No Backseat Moderating
Let the moderators do the moderating. Backseat moderating is when people who are not moderators try to enforce the forum rules. If you see a person breaking the rules, take advantage of the Report button or simply ignore the offensive post(s) and thread. Message the mods/admins if you believe it is urgent.
Report Posts to Moderators
Should you observe a fellow Community member breaking these rules please report the post or item by clicking the Report (button located on every item/post)
★Repeated Offenders
Repeated offenders of the above rules and guidelines will be banned from the Community. Any moderator has the ability to ban a user for violating the rules at their discretion regardless of the 3 strike system if serious enough.
We will have a 3 strike system in place for repeat offenders (3rd strike and you're out). If you are doing something within the forums, chats or any group discussions that is unsavory to the majority you will be dealt with accordingly.
If there is still an issue that continues regardless of warnings you will be banned, or removed from Skype chat rooms/not re-added.
You may appeal to the Magus'/admins if you believe any judgement was unfair but must be met with proof- but please note each strike is not taken lightly and we will act accordingly if we must.
